How? Why? Damn it, it’s not fair! Ok, there are good reasons why things took longer than expected this issue. For starters, there was a stockpile of interview material that needed to be addressed. Since this is the Acknowledgements section, I am here to acknowledge that transcribing interviews sucks. The cover for this issue also presented logistical challenges, which created delays. But the deeds are done, the issue marches on, and it is a better issue for the difficulties met along the way. In the hot seat: It’s a little crazy to think about it, but most of the interviews in this issue date back to last summer. We apologize for the wait and thank one and all for their contributions: Heather Buckley, Michael Felsher, Ethan Halo, Rexford Metz, Mojo, Denise Okuda, Mike Okuda, W. D. Richter, Emile Smith, and Ron Veto. A special note of thanks to Earl Mack Rauch for bugging Reno and snagging that excerpt from the novel for us. Thanks also to Denise and Mike Okuda at the Banzai Institute Facebook page for their generous assistance in getting the word out about World Watch One and their contributions to Banzai fandom in general. We extend our appreciation to Dan Berger, Barry Chan, Matt Haley, and Mike Okuda for creating the graphic elements that appear in this issue. Thanks also go out to Chris “ArcLight” Wike for hosting the newsletter’s presence on the interwebs at the World Watch OnLine library and Sean Murphy for doing the same at the Buckaroo Banzai FAQ. Many thanks to our regular contributors for doing their thing: Dan Berger, Barry Chan, Steve Mattsson, Sean Murphy, Steven H Silver, and Scott Tate. Additional thanks go to Rich Drees for some additional Johnny-on- the-spot writing. Special thanks to Barry Chan, Sean Murphy, and Steven H Silver for their proofing of this issue’s contents. Commendations go to Barry Chan for pulling emergency artistic duty on both the front and back covers for this issue. Originally, Filmmaker Emile Smith was slated to spruce up the cover with a render straight from the Jet Car trailer promoting Buckaroo Banzai: Ancient Secrets & New Mysteries; but it was not to be...this time. We’re working on it. Thanks go to both Barry and Emile for their efforts. We salute you! Get in the game: World Watch One does not write or illustrate itself. All are invited to contribute to the next issue. Don’t worry about making it perfect. We’d just love to hear from you. See below for contact information and further encouragement.

Front Cover: On the cover this issue, BBI Rolo Tomasi pays tribute to the 1980’s Jet Car that propelled Buckaroo and Team Banzai into history on June 11, 1981; forty years ago this month. Masado and Sandra Banzai also feature prominently, along with the 1954 Jet Car they built with Toichi Hikita. The Jet Car image was created in Adobe Illustrator imported into Photoshop for the cover composition. It's amazing what can be created from a single film frame. Rolo has an affinity for art from technical illustration to Golden-Age illustrators, from Syd Mead and Doug Chiang to N.C. Wyeth and J.C. Leyendecker--and their influences. An art instructor once told him; "Whichever artist you admire, study whom they studied." Questions? Comments? Want to send us an article or illustration? Go for it, compadre!

FOLLOW THE BANZAI INSTITUTE ON FACEBOOK FOLLOW WORLD WATCH ONE ON FACEBOOK 1 Looking to the past, racing towards the future In the summer of 2020, World Watch One’s Steve Mattsson made the WORLD WATCH ONE acquaintance of two gentlemen responsible for the amazing Jet Car footage seen in NEWSLETTER OF TEAM BANZAI The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai—Film Grip Ron Veto and second unit Cinematographer Rex Metz. Mr. Metz was also responsible for capturing footage of STAFF Craig Breedlove’s 526.277 mph speed record in his Spirit of America jet car on Dan “Big Shoulders” Berger October 15, 1964. The beginnings of a Jet Car issue were in hand, and that sent Barry “Rolo Tomasi” Chan Steve and yours truly down a couple of related rabbit holes, as you will soon see. Steve “Rainbow Kitty” Mattsson Sean “Figment” Murphy Jet Cars weren’t the only thing on our minds in this issue. Last summer proved to Steven “Green Town” Silver be an interview windfall for the newsletter, one that we have finally caught up with Scott “Camelot” Tate on the editing front. You may remember Mike and Denise Okuda discussing Buckaroo Banzai: Ancient Secrets & New Mysteries in our August 2020 issue. Our EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD: conversation also involved their work on the Apple TV+ series For All Mankind. Dr. Buckaroo Banzai We have included that portion of their interview in this issue for your enjoyment. Reno of Memphis Mrs. E. Johnson We were honored to interview producers Michael Felsher and Heather Buckley Earl Mac Rauch about making Into the 8th Dimension, the feature length Buckaroo Banzai W. D.

Earlier this month, yours truly appeared in an episode of the Deep Cuts podcast devoted to Buckaroo Banzai. If that wasn’t enough, two Hong Kong Cavaliers crashed the party at the end of the episode, and that’s just for starters. We have been gently telling good readers for years now that a certain Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League novel is coming in the future. We may have buried the lede as a result, to see if people were paying attention. Then a funny thing happened. This January, I reached out to Reno at the Banzai Institute through Earl Mac Rauch, asking if he had any update about when the novel would be published.

    WESSEX VEHICLE PRESERVATION CLUB FOUNDED 1971 www.wvpc.org.uk ‘WESSEX WAYS’ MARCH 2017 VEHICLE OF THE MONTH Rover 80, 1961. This relatively rare model (only 5,900 were produced between 1959 and 1962) was powered by a 2,286cc 4-cylinder engine producing 77bhp. The 4-speed gearbox with overdrive gave a top speed of 86mph, with 0 to 60mph achieved in 22.5 seconds. The engine was also used in the Land Rover Series II, IIA and III. Although not as rapid as its 6-cylinder cousins, the Rover 80 manages a respectable acceleration, is provided with servo assisted brakes, and is as comfortable and well- appointed as one would expect of a Rover of this time. CHAIRMAN’S CHATTER Hi Everyone, This month’s club night sees the return of bingo which could be quite an experience with me doing the calling!!! I will do my best although I cannot give any reassuring words, but we will possibly have a laugh. I take this opportunity to thank Keith for last month’s talk on the Antarctic - it was certainly a bit different, and from what I have heard it was enjoyed by all. You will find the entry form in the newsletter for the Quay to Quay Run which takes place on the 23rd April. Please try to get the entries in as soon as possible as it will give me a chance to order the rosettes. As I am talking about events, the April club night will not now be a quiz as advertised as I have been able to get along to give us a talk on the Bomber Command during the 1939-46 conflict, a Mr George Chorley.
